ArtCenter Classes Offered at Lakewood Ranch

(Bradenton, Fla., Jan. 18, 2008) - In collaboration
with ArtCenter Manatee, Manatee Community College (MCC)
Corporate and Community Development offers a variety of classes
taught by the area's finest artists and teachers at MCC
Lakewood Ranch, 7131 Professional Parkway East. The Spring
schedule includes classes in watercolor painting, making
stained glass, landscape art and painting on silk.

Kathleen Masur teaches "Exploring Painting on Silk," which
offers an opportunity to make gifts or something for one's own
wardrobe. Each class begins with a demonstration that is
followed by individual instruction. The class is open to all
skill levels and meets from 1 to 4 p.m. on Wednesdays. New
six-week classes begin March 26.

"Painting on silk is one of the oldest art forms, dating
back 5,000 years. With modern technology, the dyes are nontoxic
and easy to use and anyone can do it. You can take a piece of
silk, add color, throw in a little salt for texturing and come
up with a beautiful design," said Masur.

"Stained Glass" and "Landscape - All Media" classes begin
March 29. The fee for each class is $70 for ArtCenter
members and $90 for nonmembers. For more information, visit
